A Generation Study Abroad Initiative scholarship designed to help students study abroad at ITESO-Universidad de Guadalajara in Guadalajara, Mexico.
ITESO offers a full-tuition scholarship each semester.
ITESO offers both undergraduate and graduate programs in Spanish for advanced language students and content classes in English in a 3+1 program where students take three classes in English and one Spanish language course at the beginning or intermediate level.
The English-content classes are offered in business, the humanities and the social sciences, and are part of ITESO’s regular curriculum, so study abroad students will attend classes with general ITESO students.
The deadline to apply is Oct. 15 for spring semester 2016 and April 15 for fall semester 2017.
To apply:
- Complete the application for ITESO
- Submit a one-page scholarship essay, which includes the reasons why you would like to study at ITESO and why it is important to you to study abroad in Mexico
- Get a nomination from your study abroad office (Education Abroad at St. Cloud State University)
- Get a recommendation letter from a former professor
The ITESO scholarship is awarded based on academic and social merit. Students must receive a nomination from their home study abroad office to qualify. There is no language requirement. Students are still responsible for airfare, room and board and local transportation while they are studying in Guadalajara.

St. Cloud State is working toward developing partnerships with Mexican universities Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo (UAEH), University of Guanajuato and Centro de Enseñanza Técnica y Superior (CETYS) University to offer more study abroad opportunities for St. Cloud State students. President Earl H. Potter III signed agreements with the three universities to work toward those partnerships while on a trade mission to Mexico Aug. 9-4 with Gov. Mark Dayton.
St. Cloud State University offers many study abroad opportunities and many partner institutions throughout the world offer scholarships to help students to take advantage of the opportunity to explore the world outside their home institution.
Generation Study Abroad is committed to doubling the number of U.S. students studying abroad by 2019.
